This recipe is more or less fusion of Japanese and Sichuan cuisine. It builds on the dan dan noodles recipe. First we cook pork with Sichuan spices to make it aromatic and fragrant. Sauce on the other hand is using Shiro miso paste which is Japanese ingredient. In combination with rest of the ingredients we create creamy sauce, which coats the noodles all over, bringing the two worlds together.
